Intelliconnect solderless RF connectors win Product of the Year

Intelliconnect (Europe) Ltd have won the Interconnection Product of the Year award at the recent Electronic Industry Awards ceremony with their innovative UK designed and manufactured 2.9mm Solderless RF Connectors.

Roy Philips, Managing Director of Intelliconnect (Europe) comments: “We are pleased and proud that our industry peers have voted our new 2.9mm solderless connector series Interconnection Product of the Year for 2018. This new connector offers our customers an exciting alternative for assembling connectors to 0.085”(RG405) and 0.141” cables with no loss in performance or reliability. Solderless assembly speeds manufacture and facilitates field replacement in the event of wear or damage to the connector.”

The cost-effective 2.9mm connectors provide solderless attachment to 0.085”(RG405) and 0.141” cables. System designers will find the main advantages of these connectors are faster assembly time, repeatability and performance and they also provide field replaceable connectivity.

Intelliconnect’s newly developed clamping technology provides similar I/L and VSWR results to standard soldered connectors. No special tooling is required and cable retention force is similar to soldered versions.

These stainless steel 2.9mm connectors have been designed for applications where reliability, durability, robustness and high frequency performance are very important. Typical applications include civil and military telecommunications, civil and military aeronautics, military equipment, space and measurement systems.

Intelliconnect’s cable division are specialist manufacturers of affordable, high quality, high frequency microwave cables including triaxial assemblies, semi-rigid, semi-flexible and cryogenic cables as well as standard RG/LMR type products. Cables can be waterproofed to IP68 and include special features including phase matching and ruggedised assemblies for use in harsh environments.
